The Second Star To The Right

Original and similar lyrics

Ready (the second star)
Here we go
Dream me away to the stars never stop
You and me, me and you, on our way to the top.
Spread your wings we can fly to the stars,
In the sky to the left is the moon, is the star on the right.
And I can meet you, I can meet you, I can meet you.
The second star to the right,
Shines in the night for you.
To tell you that the dreams you plan,
Really can come true.
The second star to the right,
Shines with a light that's rare.
And if it's Never Land you need,
It's light will lead you there.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star (little star)
So I'll know (I will know) where you are (where you are.)
Gleaming in the skies above (ohhh)
Lead me to the land I dreamed of.
And when our journey is through,
Each time we say good night, (say goodnight)
We'll thank the little star that shines,
The second from the right. (Second from the right)
The second star, yeahhh ohhh
Dream me away to the stars never stop
You and me, me and you, on our way to the top.
ohh
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
So I'll know where you are (where you are.)
Gleaming in the skies above (ohhh)
Lead me to the land I dreamed of.
And when our journey is through,
Each time we say good night, (we say goodnight)
We'll thank the little star that shines,
The second from the right (second from the right)
The second star, yeahhh
The second star, woahhh woahh woahhh woahhhh
Every time you need its light, it'll be there
To show the dreams you plan can come true.

When you look into a night sky you see the stars far away,
you're seeing them because of the light which travels from
them to you. Now it takes time for light to travel here, so
what you are doing is seeing the stars as they were in the
past, the amount of time it has taken for the light to reach
us and the further and further away those stars are, the
further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a
star that is say six thousand years ago, imagine somebody
on that star looking at us, they would be seeing us as we
were six thousand years ago. Which of those two is now?
So space and time are linked together. As we are looking
across space, we are looking back in time.
-Prof. Frank Close

(Kinky Friedman)
Oh, I didn't write this song for fortunes made of money,
I only came along just to sing it to you, honey.
I've dreamed around the bend, I've looked behind the sky,
I've seen the rainbow's end in the twinkle of an eye.
And until the day our stars all arise
Twinkle, let me shine in your eyes.
In a window from afar it shines in just like a candle,
The shimmer like a star, it's more than I can handle,
To hold you in the night, to show you what I told you,
To go down by candlelight, to light the world before you.
And until the day our stars all arise,
Twinkle, let me shine in your eyes.
And until the day our stars all arise,
Twinkle, let me shine in your eyes,
Twinkle, let me shine in your eyes,
Let me shine in your eyes.

Maurice White, Eddie del Barrio Allee Willis
In the sky, shines a star, spaces,
Near and far, calling out, who you are
And smiling in the night.
Star light, star bright beam across the
Sky -- falling, calling can you tell me why --
Star light, star bright mighty light to see.
Shining, smiling down on you and me --
Star hides from the rain, it turns
Against the pain, fooling many in the game
While smiling in the night --
I can feel the dark, take the night,
Apart, but then, the stars come out
And lift my heart --
Believing, thereç£ a star, for everyone
Makes it easier, to recall, that together
For the children of the world -- Thereç£
A star smiling for us all
Star, shining high, cultivating my desire
Graceful in the sky
And smiling in the night
Chorus out
